Hi Freebrainstorms ,Assuming your birth times are correct, looking at the chart I can certainly tell that you are each others 'type'. Before I ramble on about why I think this, I'll explain what I'm basing evaluation on...
There are different ways we could be a person's 'type', depending on their natal chart.
First and foremost I look at...
The 5th house (Romantic Sparks and admiration, being 'blown away' by someone)
The 7th house (Affection and liking, having one's soft spot touched)
The 8th house (deep emotional bonding and physical attraction, like being curious about what's going on inside someone and being magnetized by them)
If we put planets in these houses, or aspect the rulers of these houses, in someone else's natal chart we can stimulate the above type feelings within them.
Then I check secondary houses to elaborate on the above themes. The secondary 7th especially tends to be very illuminating. Probably because the 7th house is an angular house. Gemini Dsc looks at the 3rd house, Taurus Dsc looks at the 2nd house, Aries Dsc checks look to the Asc, Aquarius Dsc looks to the 11th house, and so on, to show extra details about our partnership likes.
Then I look at the gender planets... Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus... For indications about they types of gender appropriate behavior we like. It shows how a person would prefer a Men or Women to present themselves, and act in relationships. Again, these planets by sign, house, and aspect, will show a person's gender related ideals. Actual aspects to these planets in synastry shows a lot about the physical and romantic chemistry we have with them.
Then I look at the Vertex Axis... Does the person have planets on either end of it. Do they have planets aspecting it strongly (Even if by sextiles and trines). Do the have planets aspecting the rulers of either end of the Vertex Axis... Particularly conjunctions. All these things can give the person in question the marvelous feeling that they've meet someone significant in their life in sort of a spooky, syncronistic way, where it feels like fate.
Okay, backing to the reading. So in his case he has Virgo rising with Aquarius on the 5th house, Pisces on the 7th house, and Aries on the 8th house. You match quite well with his personality/style attraction pattern.
Regarding the 5th house, your Sun and Mercury in Aquarius fall into his 5th house. Aquarius is co-ruled by Uranus and Saturn, and his Uranus is in Sagittarius. This matches the fact that you have Mars in Sagittarius, and that the ruling planets of both your Sun and Mercury in Aquarius, Saturn and Uranus, are conjunct in Sagittarius. This shows you are his romantic type.
Regarding the 7th house, your Venus in Pisces is conjunct his Dsc... This is a very sweet connection. And your Asc is in the same sign as his Pisces Dsc. This adds up to you having demeanor about you that he finds attractive. Also, with Pisces on the Dsc his secondary 7th house is the 12th house. His 12th house has Virgo on the cusp. This resonates well with your Moon being in Virgo, even though your Moon is in his 1st house. Your Moon still has a style of personality about it that he is attracted to. This shows you are the type he would choose for partnership.
Actually, aspect-wise, your Venus/Moon opposition sits right on top of his Asc/Dsc Axis. This is a powerful tie and indicates an immediate connection, and familiarity between you. His very presence affections you on a primal emotional level, and stirs up your affections. He feels he is able to connect very well to your feminine side, as ruled by Moon and Venus, and finds your softness pleasant to be around.
Regarding the 8th house, your Jupiter in Aries (which rules your Sagittarius Mars) falls into his 8th house. Also, with Aries on the 8th house cusp, his 1st house is his secondary 8th house. Going back to your Moon in Virgo, your Moon conjunct his Asc (1st house) also feels like an 8th house connection for him. This means he feels he is able to bond deeply with you beyond a surface level.
Venus in a man’s chart is important because it shows his personal image of ‘the fair beauty’ that he carries around in his psyche. Looking at his Venus symbolism, he has Venus in Leo in the 11th house. There are two connections to your Aquarius Sun and Mercury here. One connection comes from the fact that his Venus is in the 11th house which is associated with Aquarius. The other connection comes from the fact that Leo, the sign Venus is in, rules the 5th house… And in his chart he has Aquarius on the 5th house. His Venus in Leo refers back to his 5th house where your Sun and Mercury are. So from here, I can tell you fit his Venus quite well. The house ruled by the sign of a guy’s Venus shows more info about the type of female he likes.
Looking at your chart, you have Pisces rising, Cancer on the 5th house cusp, Virgo on the Dsc, and Scorpio on the 8th house cusp. Again, I see some nice matches here from his chart to his 5th, 7th, and 8th houses.
Regarding the 5th house, you have Moon in Virgo ruing your Cancer 5th house cusp. Your 5th house ruler the Moon is conjunct his Virgo Asc. This means his demeanor appeals to you romantically.
Regarding the 7th house, you also have Virgo on the 7th house cusp, and his Mercury and Asc fall into your 7th house. Your 7th house ruler is Mercury in Aquarius and this matches well with his Sun and Venus in his natal 11th house (the house of Aquarius). Also, with Virgo on the 7th house your secondary 7th house is the 6th house. Virgo rules the 6th house, and so the 6th house becomes like another part of the 7th house for those with a Virgo Dsc. Your 6th house starts in early Leo, and his Sun and Venus in Leo fall into your 6th house. All of these factors show he has the potential to match what you are looking for in a partner.
It’s quite fitting that you have a Pisces Asc, while he has a Virgo one. This means that in terms of demeanor and personal presentation, each has what the other is attracted to in a partner.
Regarding the 8th house, he has a stellium of planets in Scorpio and they all fall into your 8th house… His Moon, Mars, and Saturn in Scorpio all fall into your 8th house. His Pluto in Libra falls at the end of your 7th house but is close to your 8th house cusp. This means he’s magnetically attractive to you, and you feel a desire to deeply connect with him.
A women’s Mars is important because it shows the type of ‘dashing suitor’ she prefers. In your chart you have Mars in Sagittarius, while it’s not an exact connection to his Leo placements, it does show you are able to appreciate the fiery nature of his Leo Sun and Venus.
So far I’ve talked mostly about romantic house symbolism matching between your two charts, without delving too much into the planetary synastry aspects. The signs and planets associated with each of the 5th, 7th, and 8th houses show our 'type' in that area of life... romantic sparks (5th), affection and liking (7th), deep emotional bonding and physical attraction (8th). This symbolism also shows the type of relationship support and interaction (relationship style) we like in that area of life. However, sometimes acting like a person's type is not enough. We need more then just the right personality qualities and personality type. For example, a person may have an Aries Dsc but they will not be attracted to every single Aries Sun, Moon, or Asc they meet. There's an X factor, or chemistry required, to complete the picture. That’s where interplanetary aspects come into play…
One of the reason I dislike synastry wheels is they don’t give the actual degrees of the planets so it’s hard to ascertain what aspects are there and how tight they really are. For this reason I don’t want to go too much into the inter-aspects… but I will quickly mention that his Scorpio Moon and Mars conjunction aspecting your Pisces Venus/Virgo Moon opposition looks very good for romantic compatibility. Moon/Moon and Venus/Moon and emotionally connecting, sweet aspects. Mars/Moon and Mars/Venus are good for attraction between the sexes, and are more passionate.
Some for dynamic aspects of compatibility show in the Sun/Sun opposition you share, and the Venus/Mercury opposition you share… Venus/Mercury is good for lively interaction and sometimes flirty conversations. The Sun/Sun opposition shows that the two of you have very different natures that sometimes confront each other, yet the two of you are rather complimentary to each other as well, each offering what the other lacks. He’s enthusiastic, passionate, and direct. You’re cool-headed, rational, and open-mined.
So yeah, I think there’s a lot of promise in this compatibility. These factors only show potential though, and it’s always up the people involved to be mature and treat each other well. I hope it works out for you. It really is a rather nice compatibility. Maybe you wouldn’t mind posting individual natal charts for each of you (with the dates and names edited if you wish) so we can see the degrees of the planets, and how exact the synastry aspects are. Also, if you were to post your Vertex degrees we could look at those as well.
